Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the flank steak dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt, oregano, cumin, and drizzle with red wine vinegar. Let the steak rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add cooking oil, and sear the seasoned steak for about 3 minutes on each side until a rich brown crust forms. Set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, add onions, and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent and caramelized.
  4. Add diced tomatoes and a pinch of salt and pepper to the onions, pour in beef broth, and simmer for a couple of minutes.
  5. Return the seared steak along with its juices to the pan, cover, and let simmer on low for about 10 minutes.
  6. Serve the steak sliced against the grain with the onion and tomato sauce on top, and enjoy with white rice and fresh avocado.
